\nNot long ago on Facebook, a fellow Unitarian Universalist minister, as I recall, mentioned visiting a new city and seeing announcements for worship services for the two most liberal congregations. The UU church advertised the sermon title as \u201cOn Consciousness,\u201d while the progressive Christian congregation had a sermon advertised as \u201cBad Girls of the Bible.\u201d The minister asked, \u201cWhich one would you attend?\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, I actually would have been interested in that reflection on consciousness. But I take the colleague\u2019s meaning. And the more I thought about it, the more I thought there\u2019s something for religious liberals, for Unitarian Universalists, in going back and looking at who is thought to be a bad girl in the Bible. Eve? Delilah? Mary Magdalene? How about Jezebel?<\/p>\n
